Social conservatives Linda Harvey and Peter LaBarbera warned last weekend that the Republican Party is slowly coming around to LGBT rights.
During an appearance on Harvey's radio show, LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), reiterated his fear that President-elect Donald Trump might increase GOP acceptance of such rights, which makes him more “dangerous” that Hillary Clinton.
The GOP has been “selling out on the truth about homosexuality” for a long time, LaBarbera said, adding that Religious Right activists must increase their efforts to “push the Republican Party to live by its platform and not cave on homosexuality,” a reference to the GOP platform, which calls for the undermining or reversal of the Supreme Court's 2015 ruling that led to nationwide marriage equality and supports so-called conversion therapy to minors and state laws that restrict transgender bathroom use.
LaBarbara said he was “appalled” by the trend and called homosexuality “an abomination” that violates God's law.
“It will be seen that the Christian view was the right side of history,” Harvey said. “They keep saying that we're on the wrong side of history; we are not. It will be proven and it's already showing itself for anyone who cares to look.”
